Frank Vallejo Jr., 27, was fatally shot on January 3, 2025, during a domestic dispute at an apartment complex in the 8300 block of Potranco Road on San Antonio’s West Side. The San Antonio Police Department says the shooting happened about 12:30 p.m. in a breezeway after an argument involving Vallejo, his girlfriend, and her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old George Amaro, who is the father of the woman’s 6-year-old child. Amaro allegedly produced a firearm and shot Vallejo multiple times; Vallejo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Amaro fled with the child but was found shortly afterward in another apartment in the same complex and surrendered without incident; the child was located unharmed. Amaro was arrested and charged with murder, burglary of a habitation with intent to commit a felony, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, with bond set at $470,000. Friends and family remembered Vallejo as a devoted father and kind-hearted person who tried to provide for his daughter.
